Textbook Question
Chapter 19, Problem 5RQ
Write a function called Balloon that will accept a single variable named S. The function should replace S with the square of s and repeat this process until S is either greater than 1015 or less than 10–15. The function should return a value Q containing the number of times S was squared during this process. If S equals 1, the function should display a warning message and return the value Inf in Q.
Examples
If S = 100, Q = 3 (S equals 1016 after the third square).
If S = 0.1, Q = 4 (S equals 10–16 after the fourth square).
If S = 3, Q = 5 (S equals 1.853 × 1015 after the fifth square).

10−9. The state of strain at the point has components of ϵx = −100(10−6), ϵy = −200(10−6), and γxy=100(10−6). Use the strain transformation equations to determine (a) the in-plane principal strains and (b) the maximum in-plane shear strain and average normal strain. In each case specify the orientation of the element and show how the strains deform the element within the x−y plane.

- 6/85 In a study of head injury against the instrument panel of a car during sudden or crash stops where lap belts without shoulder straps or airbags are used, the segmented human model shown in the figure is analyzed. The hip joint O is assumed to remain fixed relative to the car, and the torso above the hip is treated as a rigid body of mass m freely pivoted at O. The center of mass of the torso is at G with the initial position of OG taken as vertical. The radius of gyration of the torso about O is ko. If the car is brought to a sudden stop with a constant deceleration a, determine the speed v relative to the car with which the model's head strikes the instrument panel.

- A viscoelastic column is made of a material with a creep compliance of D(t)= 0.75+0.5log10t+0.18(log10t)^2 GPA^-1 for t in s. If a constant compressive stress of σ0 = –100 MPa is applied at t = 0, how long will it take (= t1/2) for the height of the column to decrease to ½ its original value? Note: You will obtain multiple answers for this problem! One makes sense physically and one does not.arrow_forwardA group of 23 power transistors, dissipating 2 W each, are to be cooled by attaching them to a black-anodized square aluminum plate and mounting the plate on the wall of a room at 30°C. The emissivity of the transistor and the plate surfaces is 0.9. Assuming the heat transfer from the back side of the plate to be negligible and the temperature of the surrounding surfaces to be the same as the air temperature of the room, determine the length of the square plate if the average surface temperature of the plate is not to exceed 50°C. Start the iteration process with an initial guess of the size of the plate as 43 cm. The properties of air at 1 atm and the film temperature of (Ts + T)/2 = (50 + 30)/2 = 40°C are k = 0.02662 W/m·°C, ν = 1.702 × 10–5 m2 /s, Pr = 0.7255, and β = 0.003195 K–1.

Taking the surrounding surface temperature to be also 20°C, determine the rate of heat loss from all surfaces of the tank by natural convection and radiation. The properties of air at 32°C are k=0.02603 W/m-K, v=1.627 x 10-5 m²/s, Pr = 0.7276, and ẞ = 0.003279 K-1 The rate of heat loss from all surfaces of the tank by natural convection is The rate of heat loss from all surfaces of the tank by radiation is W.
